Mary Celeste
First theory - F1 (Mr. Solly Flood, Attorney General at Gibraltar.)"My own theory or guess is that the crew got at the alcohol (the cargo) and in the fury of drunkenness murdered the Master, whose name was Briggs, his wife and child and the chief (first) mate; and that they did, some time between the 25 November and the 5 December, escape on board some vessel bound for some North or South American port or the West Indies."First, this is a more reliable theory because the writer was an attorney general. However, the theory is incorrect because on page 32 of the handout it states that the alcohol was the kind that not supposed to be drunk. Another reason why this is incorrect is because on page 32 of the handout also states that the ship was found on December 4th 1862."[They] ...escape on board some vessel bound for some North or South American port or the West Indies." This is a reasonable idea because this could explain why, in source D2, the Navigation equipment was missing. Suggesting that the crew had removed the Navigation equipment and decided to escape on the boat tied to the ship, which was missing (source B: A diagram showing the state of the boat when it was found, which mentioned that the boat was missing). Thi
The red brown spots on the deck could back that up but could also be a stain or anything else. The crew and the captain could have ruined the ship and then staged the reddish brown spots on the deck (source E1) by using paint or animal blood to defraud the insurance company. In source C5 written by James Winchester (part owner of the Mary Celeste) he says that he knew one of the crew members and he also said that he. * Source E1: Why there was red brown spots were found on deckNevertheless, it is still a ludicrous theory. I find that the first theory is more convincing. " But this is contradicted by source C1 - A list of the crew. Although in source C6 - T A Nickelsen (chief of parish in Germany from where the two brothers came) it elucidates that "They had a most peaceful character. They could have also stabbed an animal, whipped it, and put it back in the captain's scabbard (source E1). * Source D2: The reason why there was still enough good and water to last for six months. This theory could also suggest that the crew members could have taken the Benjamin Spooner Briggs' (captain and part owner of the Mary Celeste on her last voyage [Source A: Picture of Benjamin Spooner Briggs and a short description]) sword and killed him and his family (His wife and maybe his daughter/son, cited by source C2 [read the next page for more information]). It is impossible for a giant octopus to rise out from the water and intentionally lift up humans and encircle them one by one. Solly Folld, Attorney General at Gibraltar. Navigation equipment is missing, probably taken from the crew to navigate back to land.
